I'm considering taking the big AIR decal off the sides of my boat. I don't love it, and would like a cleaner look. I think I'd leave the rear bit that says 'Air Nautique 210 Team' but then, they're pretty beat up from years of buffing around/over them, too. So NautiqueParts has a variety of decals and I think I could replace them, or something very close - I'm okay with using later/earlier "Super Air Nautique" decals that fit in the same area, with the AIR board logo, etc. but keeping it close to original. Anyway, that's not what I'm asking. Should I keep that at all? Or go for a full-clean look? My inclination is to keep the rear decals but lose the AIR. See below for amateur photoshopping.
In order of my current preference:

And I don't see why I would do this, but...

I know to some extent, I'll never totally get rid of the "ghosting" left where the old decals were, but I still would rather do this now than in another 5-10 years of sun exposure. Some other gel work is being done at the same time, so it's an opportunity to get this done, the way I see it.
Thoughts?
